I am from West Texas, and I graduated from Angelo State University in 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and History.

My husband and I have lived in Frisco for almost 20 years, and we have enjoyed raising our two sons in this community. I have been teaching in Frisco ISD for 14 years, and I believe it is important to build relationships with students and meet them where they are, whether by reinforcing their strengths or helping to fill gaps in their learning. I enjoy working out, watching sports, participating in outdoor activities, cooking, and spending time with friends and family.

Hi, I'm Francky. Back in high school, I jokingly called myself a 'physician' after acing physics tests and bragged to my teacher, who wisely said, 'There's more to life than physics.' Now, as a civil engineer from UTA who loves all calculus, I realize passion and dedication are key at every level of education and in life. I love working out and cooking. I'm a tutor because teaching reminds me that I've still got this!
